First Round of Playing the New List —April 14, 2021
So today I went up to my LGS and played a couple games with some friends of mine I haven't seen in years, and it was great fun. I ended up playing two games with Karametra - the first as the stock battlecruisery list against a Mina and Denn, Wildborn stompy creatures deck, a Rosheen Meanderer burn deck, and a Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy stax deck. All throughout the game, I held a strong board presence, however, lost in the end due to everyone being low on life and the Mina and Denn top decking a overrun effect.
The second game I swapped over to the combo decklist, and saw much greater success. The Mina player had swapped over to a Bosh, Iron Golem deck based around copying Bosh's trigger, the Rosheen player swapped to a Jasmine Boreal no keywords deck, and the Kinnan player swapped to a Chulane, Teller of Tales drawing cards deck. Bosh had a combo on board that could've killed the table, but I managed to interrupt it with a well-timed Krosan Grip. My next turn, I played an Aluren with a Oketra's Monument and a Rhonas's Monument on board. I played Whitemane Lion an infinite amount of times, making infinite tokens and pumping my creatures infinitely, and I swung for game. However, the Jasmine deck cast Fog saving the table. In my second main, I managed to recur Enlightened Tutor for a Blasting Station and killed the table with it, my infinite tokens, and Whitemane Lion infinitely blinking itself.
All in all, the deck performed as expected. It managed to eek a win out of nowhere, and was able to take several different routes in order to do so. The combo list is definitely more powerful than the battlecruiser list, but that is to be expected. Hope to test it out more soon.
